RUN CANCELED as there was not enough interest (at least 20); may revist later.

Hi all,

Recently we were able to get our hands on a real Michell's turntable piece, aka Adjustment Knob, for a commissioned ESB RocketPack built and painted by Darthmiller.
Since there are a few of us here locally that wanted a copy, we had our CNC machinist make us all accurate copies...

Well after speaking with those involved, we have decided to "gauge interest" to see if there are others that may want a copy as well, as there are many of us that won't get their hands on a real piece.

This is one SOLID Aluminum piece...as this was the easiest way to reproduce it. So in terms of accuracy the Size and Shape are 100% spot on as you can see.

Unfortunately it does not have the top section that screws off, as that would have made our costs go up to replicate that one feature.......personally it's close enough for me.

**Or if you want we can see if our machinist can do the two part feature on the knobs?? but I'm sure the cost will go up if we add that.

We are looking at about 30-35$ shipped (estimated)...and we are about 2 months away from even doing a run, again if there's enough interest.

If there is no interest (at least 20-25) then we will delete this thread.

Is that the image of a replica or the real one? If it's the replica, can you take a picture of them side by side to the real deal?
Thanks man
Arturo

No, that's the finished one... and plenty of comparisons coming...if the interest is there.

Initially we took measurements from Steve Sansweets gun (thanks Steve)...and determined that the one at the tip of his Pre-Pro Supertrooper gun was of a different model, as it was waaay too short...the measurements matched otherwise, just a different height...as measured with a Digital Caliper/ Micrometer...

Nice! bring it on! This is why is I've been waiting to finish off my ESB.
